Steven reviewed the open action items.  

---++++ Liaison Reports
VHDL with encryption support has  been approved (conditional) at RevCom.

Michael described the progress he had made on securing the call into a dynamic library using encryption protocols.  The group discussion converged on solving that dynamic library call security problem so that the actual license management could remain the responsibility of the IP authors or their suppliers.
